Reggie enjoys his priceless volumes of Latin literature; many were given by students over the years. Below is an up to date photo of him with one of his treasures in usum serenissimi delphini. He is currently teaching his famous summer program held in recent years in Milwaukee.

The second volume of the Latinitatis corpus is with the publisher. It consists of our commentaries on 51 letters of Cicero ad familiares. As the first volume gives Ossa Latinitatis Sola: The Mere Bones of Latin, the second volume puts meat on the bones and so is called, Ossium Carnes Multae: Locutionis indoles ac natura Ciceronis in epistulis. The Bones’ Meats Abundant: The Character and nature of speech in Cicero’s letters. This second volume is due to be published by The Catholic University of America Press in 2020.

Ossium Carnes Multae: The Bones’ Meats Abundant includes our selection of 51 letters of Cicero in the origianl Latin. These are followed by our translation and commentary on how Cicero expressed himself in Latin. It also includes the 500 sentences wirtten by Cicero consisting of 5 or 6 words or fewer. We have also provided 100 conversations of a teacher and student as they explore the meaning of selected phrases and sentences from this volume and use these sentences of Cicero to compose their own sentences.

This program aired on Saturday 6 January on CBS This Morning program. Perhaps it will be near the beginning of the second half of the two-hour programme. After airing, I’ll embed the video on this web-page.

An interview of Reggie is scheduled to appear on CBS This Morning. The broadcast is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, 23 December 2017, but the schedule is yet to be confirmed a week in advance.

The Emmy award winning Film-maker and documentary video-journalist Brook Silva-Braga came to Milwaukee from New York with a technical crew from Chicago to spend a day with Reggie. He conducted a personal interview with Reggie and he attended the afternoon Latin session. He also interviewed willing students after the Latin encounter.

After the program airs, I intend to embed the video into this posting so that you can view it here.

Happy Birthday Reginald

Birthday celebration

Three years on from Reggie’s 75th birthday bash, you may wish to look back on that great event when he was fetted by scores of alumni at a celebration hosted by the Paideia Institute, Jason Pedicone President, held in Washington DC. You may read about that event and the festschrift and liber amicorumat this web-site. The photos of that celebration were made available by Jason here.

Ossium Carnes Multae: The Bones’ Meats Abundant

“Cicero’s letters put meat on the bones”.

If you had any doubt about how to teach Latin using the Ossabook, we are preparing extensive examples on how to use Cicero’s letters ad familiares to teach Latin from the very first encounter through all five Experiences of the Latin language.

Numerous dialogues showing how to teach Latin from Cicero from the first day,

Hear how Reggie speaks and interacts in the classroom,

On the value of these Letters for learning to think “Latinly”.

This volume is the fulfillment of Reggie’s doctoral dissertation, which was interrupted by 40 years as papal Latinist. Reggie once said that after several years in the office, he took the draft of his doctoral thesis – hundreds of pages written in Latin – out to the trash and threw them all away.

Now, after a full career, Reggie has taken up the subject of his doctoral thesis once again, and with a mature hand he presents his method of teaching the Latin language from the letters of Cicero from the very first day through an entire education in the Latin language.

Cicero’s every sentence is a symphony of the whole Latin language.
